FOREWORD. 



The following suggestion of possible consolidations of public 
schools is the conclusion and recommendation of the authors of 
"A Survey of the Public Schools of Delaware". 

The report has two points of distinct value : — 

1. It is a theoretical and practical plan made by experts 
after a careful study of every school building in Dela- 
ware. 

2. It shows the people of Delaware how the cause of 
education may be promoted through rebuilding of schools 
in consolidated form. 

The State Board of Education has received this plan but the 
recommendations have not been adopted, nor should it be assumed 
that any part of the plan will be adopted before making a careful 
study in which local interests and opinions will be given due consider- 

ation - T>. off i>.

The Consolidation of Schools 



Any considerable advance in the educational opportunity to 
be provided for the children of Delaware is dependent upon a 
consolidation of the one teacher rural schools. 

It is obvious to any one who knows the school situation in 
Delaware or elsewhere that a teacher who is required to teach 
children from the first to the eighth grade can give relatively 
little time or attention to any one group or to any individual. 
It is customary to find from eighteen to thirty recitation periods 
per day in these schools. The usual length of recitation is from 
five to ten minutes. The teacher has literally no time to teach 
the children, and not enough time even to hear them recite what 
supposedly they have been studying during the greater part of 
the day, without attention or guidance from the teacher. 

Children work to best advantage when approximately the 
same age groups and those of the same intellectual attainment are 
put in classes together. The one room rural school, because of the 
range of work to be covered, often places children varying 
widely in age or in attainment in the same class. In the larger 
school, with the better grading of pupils, every pupil has a better 
chance to advance as rapidly as his intellectual equipment and his 
industry permit. 

The consolidation of two or more of these schools in a center 
with the provision of two or more teachers responsible for their 
instruction, increases the possibility of developing an adequate 
course of study and of giving a modern education to the children. 
Throughout the United States, the consolidation of schools has 
been undertaken until to-day, in states no more densely populated 
than Delaware there are areas as large or larger than the State 
of Delaware, in which all schools have been consolidated. The 
present condition of the one room school buildings in Delaware, 
practically none of which are suitable for the purpose for which 
they are now used, makes it obvious that the program of consoli- 
dation should go hand in hand with the building program which 
is to be developed over the period of the next five years. If those 
responsible for the welfare of the children of Delaware attack 



the problem without prejudice, it will be possible for Delaware 
within the next five years to develop one of the best systems of 
public education in the United States. 

It must be remarked in passing that as children are brought 
to the larger school centers the problem of securing well trained 
teachers is in large measure solved. It is well known to all 
school board members that capable young women with high 
school education and two years of professional training, which 
should be required of any one teaching in an elementary school, 
cannot commonly be hired to teach in the remote rural school. 
Where two or more groups of children are brought together in 
a village or town or where the large consolidated school is fur- 
nished with a teacher's cottage, the better trained teachers will 
be found available. 

This problem of securing and retaining teachers is the most 
important single educational issue before the people of the 
United States today. There is a shortage of teachers throughout 
the Union, and this shortage is felt most in the rural districts. 
The shortage of teachers is being felt in the State of Delaware 
at the present time even to the point of compelling the school 
authorities to grant provisional certificates to those who are not 
well qualified for the work which they are to undertake. 

The consolidation of schools involves the transportation of 
pupils. The program already undertaken in the State of Dela- 
ware for the development of highways makes this problem rela- 
tively easy of solution. If Delaware follows the plan already 
adopted in other states, she will put on these roads well equipped 
school wagons or motor busses. Wherever the highways are 
of the permanent, improved character, the motor bus will be 
found more advantageous. Where it will still be found neces- 
sary to haul children over unimproved roads, the school wagon 
has been found satisfactory. These conveyances are commonly 
heated during the winter months so that the children actually 
travel the longer distance to school with greater comfort, 
greater security and less danger to their health than is the case 
where they have gone to the neighborhood one room rural 
school. 

The proposal to consolidate the schools of Delaware cannot be 
thought of as an experiment. The plan proposed has been tried 
hundreds of times, and there is yet to be found any community in 
the United States willing to go back to the old type of inefficient 
one room school, which has sincerely tried out the experience of 
providing more adequate education to its children. The problem 

4 



of consolidation should be thought of as a state wide program 
and should be in very large measure supported by the state. The 
proposal that one sometimes finds among those who are for the 
first time considering the problem of consolidation that parents be 
made responsible for the transportation of their own children 
and that they be paid a small sum of money in lieu of the cost 
involved, should be dismissed immediately. Nothing could be 
more uneconomical than that a group of thirty or forty children 
be transported in the ten to twenty vehicles which might be sup- 
plied by their individual families. Such a plan always suggests, 
as well, that the parent has the option of taking his child to 
school on any particular day. In very few cases would the 
vehicle provided by the parent be as comfortable as is the 
ordinary school wagon or motor bus. The problem of attend- 
ance in rural communities will be almost entirely solved when 
the motor bus or school wagon collects the children and carries 
them to school every school day of the year. The men placed in 
charge of the school conveyance should be carefully selected and 
might be of the type who could be called upon to assist the 
county attendance officer in his work. 

It may be objected that the transportation of children will 
make education more expensive. This fact should be conceded 
from the outset. Education will be more expensive wherever 
children are given better education. Instead of the dreary day 
during which the pupil has had only thirty or forty minutes with 
the teacher, there is substituted in the consolidated school an 
opportunity for instruction multiplied by anywhere from two to 
eight times. Instead of a very restricted course of study con- 
sisting almost entirely of the three R's, with a very minimum 
of geography and history, the pupil in the consolidated school 
should have opportunity for music and drawing, for work in 
the manual and household arts, and should, above all, learn, 
because of the instruction which he receives from a superior 
teacher, to be a student. Surely the difference between a partial 
literacy, gained in a miserable one room school, and the signifi- 
cant education which is now commonly provided in the consoli- 
dated school, is enough to convince any one of the desirability 
of making a somewhat larger investment. 

In the recommendations which follow for the consolidation 
of the schools of Delaware, we have had available the maps of 
the State Highway Commission showing improved roads, roads 
under construction, and those proposed for construction during 
the next five years. The program of consolidation which we 
propose is in some measure dependent upon the carrying forward 

5 



of this good roads movement, but even were this development 
to be somewhat delayed, money that is spent for school build- 
ings should in every case take into consideration the maximum 
of road development rather than spent in terms of the present 
isolation due to poor highways. 

The number of children now enrolled in each of the schools 
of the state has also been used as a factor in determining con- 
solidation. It will ordinarily be found better to develop the 
large consolidated school in or near the locality already having 
the greater number of children. It is not likely that the more 
sparsely settled regions will increase greatly in population, while 
the village or small city communities will in all probability show 
a slight increase during each decade. There is further, of 
course, the fact that the consolidated school must be located 
at the junction of highways, and these cross roads are the 
places where the larger population groups are now found. The 
recommendations given for consolidation in no case seek to 
locate exactly the place which the school is to occupy. In our 
opinion, it will ordinarily be better to place the consolidated 
school outside of the village or city, rather than in the center 
of such a community. 

Schools for rural children should be developed in terms of 
the rural life which they are leading and which they may nor- 
mally be expected to continue to lead. Their education should 
look in the direction of making them more efficient farmers 
and housekeepers rather than to converting them into clerks, 
stenographers or trade workers. 

In proposing the erection of two year and four year high 
schools in the program of consolidation, we have had in mind 
the fact that a high school of less than one hundred and fifty 
pupils cannot hope to develop an adequate four year high school 
course of study. The range of work to be offered by a four year 
high school will ordinarily require a staff larger than that which 
can be provided for a high school with less than one hundred and 
fifty pupils. Four year high schools with two hundred or more 
pupils will reasonably be expected to have a staff and to offer 
opportunities for high school work which will prepare their 
pupils for their later entrance upon college or professional 
schools. 

It will be much better for the State of Delaware to provide 
adequate high school education by reducing the number of four 
year high schools and by transporting pupils who have completed 
the two year high school to these larger institutions, than to fail 



to provide adequate education for any of its children of secondary 
school grade by continuing the large number of very small four 
year high schools. 

The distribution of high schools proposed in the plan of con- 
solidation submitted has taken into account lines of transportation 
and geographical distribution throughout the State. It will, of 
course, be found that in some cases children will have to be 
away from home while attending high school. This is the only 
way in which the families living in the rural regions of the 
United States have ever been able to secure high school educa- 
tion for their children. Nothing could be worse than to continue 
the most inefficient little schools with the exception that they 
would develop into creditable and adequate secondary schools. 
The best way to increase the number of those to profit by high 
school education is to make the schools to which they are sent 
so good in building, equipment, course of study and teachers 
employed that the pupils themselves and their parents will recog- 
nize the great advantage that comes from an adequate high 
school education. 

In the smaller high schools of the state at the time of the 
survey, there was almost a complete lack of high school equip- 
ment. In one school, for example, which proposed to continue 
the four year high school course, the only equipment that might 
be thought of as related to a high school course of study was a 
very small chemical laboratory in which, if one may judge 
from the furniture in it, the teacher demonstrated the experi- 
ments while the class observed. In any modern high school, 
the study of chemistry is carried on not primarily by demon- 
strations and reciting of theory, but by the actual carrying out 
of experiments of every child in the class, for periods of from 
two to four hours a week. In many other high schools visited, 
there was a similar lack of equipment, whether of laboratories, 
library facilities, opportunity for physical education, provision 
for the household or industrial arts, or, indeed, of any other 
feature characteristic of the better type of modern high school. 

The organization of high schools proposed in the plan for 
consolidation which follows will make possible a thoroughly 
adequate modern high school education for the children who are 
assembled in these institutions. The program of consolidation 
cannot be effected within one year's time. It is a program 
which has been developed with the idea that its completion will 
be attained at the end of a period of five years or more. The 
program should be a continuing one and should be begun as soon 
as possible. As the better roads are completed and people 



become accustomed to their use, it will be found that consolida- 
tion involving greater areas will become more acceptable to all. 
The construction of new school buildings to house the consoli- 
dated schools will in every instance lend incentive to those who 
might otherwise object. 

In the list of consolidations given counties below, the num- 
ber of pupils which would have been assembled in the con- 
solidated school during the year 1918-19 is indicated upon the 
basis of the number of children actually enrolled during that 
year in the several schools consolidated. This estimate of enroll- 
ment in the consolidated school is probably low rather than 
high, since with adequate transportation facilities it has com- 
monly been found that enrollment increases. 

The numbers to the left in these proposed consolidations are 
the present school district numbers. The enrollment figures are 
at the right, distributed by grades. Where no enrollment figure 
appears for any grade group in a district, it does not necessarily 
mean that no pupil of that grade resides in that district, but 
merely that the proposed consolidation has already been partially 
effected. 

The enrollment figures for the high school grades, 9 to' 12, do 
not include all children of Delaware (exclusive of Wilmington) 
attending high schools. It is recognized that a number of chil- 
dren from the Wilmington suburbs are attending the Wilmington 
High School and that others attend private high schools. The 
high school enrollment for Delaware should, however, increase 
very rapidly as better buildings and superior equipment are 
provided. The number of children of the high school ages, 13 
and above, is far too small for the state. The elimination at 
the end of 14 years is very great, as shown by the following 
table :

One of the immediate effects of the consolidations proposed 
by the Survey Commission will be the gradual reduction of the 
number of children dropping out of school before having an 
opportunity to secure a high school education. 

The consolidations proposed will greatly reduce the number 
of schools in Delaware (exclusive of Wilmington). The figures 
before and after consolidation for schools for white children, as 
well as schools for colored children, are presented in the follow- 
ing table :

In no instance has the Survey Commission, in its proposed 
consolidations, selected any site upon which a building is to be 
erected. In a number of instances, however, the general location 
of the proposed consolidated school has been indicted. Where 
old attendance districts have been divided, estimates of the num- 
ber of children falling into each division have been made. The 
accuracy of such estimates can only be determined by a well- 
taken school census of the entire state. The success of consoli- 
dation and of the proper attendance of children depends upon a 
permanent continuing census being maintained in the office of 
each county superintendent. 

In the consolidation program, four types of schools are listed, 
six year, eight year, ten year and twelve year. Where the 
present enrollment of a six year or eight year consolidated school 
is between 30-40 pupils, a one teacher school building may suf- 
fice. Where, however, the figures for such schools exceed 40, 
buildings providing for more than one teacher are recommended. 
It has been the effort of the Survey Commission, in its recommen- 
dations, to reduce the number of one teacher buildings to the 
lowest possible minimum.

Consolidation of Schools for Colored Children 

The wide distribution and comparatively low proportion of 
the colored population make it impossible, except in a few 
instances, to bring together in consolidated centers a sufficiently 
large number of pupils to insure well graded schools. Only 
where practicable has consolidation been proposed. In all isolated 
sections it is suggested that a modern type of one or two teacher 
schools be provided for the children of the first eight grades. 

From the following tables, based upon the enrollment figures 
for 1 9 1 8- 1 9, it will be noted that the number of high school pupils 
among the colored group is almost a negligible quantity. It will 
be further observed that the number of colored pupils in the 
seventh and eighth grades is extremely low. 

These facts make it impossible to propose at this time a 
system of high schools for colored pupils extending over the 
entire state. Until such time, therefore, as the colored schools 
below the high school grade have been developed with sufficient 
holding power to insure colored high school students in increas- 
ing numbers, it is proposed to have one colored high school for 
the entire state, the same being located in Dover. As interest 
grows and the educational aspirations of the colored people 
enlarge, it will be possible to establish in each of the other coun- 
ties a county high school for colored children. 

The following tables present the consolidations now possible :
